If you only created 'brent' at the cyrus level then to exim it isn't a
local user. It's checking the password file for local users, it
doesn't know you want it to look at wherever cyrus is checking from.
The best solution for this I found is setting up cyrus to authenticate
from a method that exim supports and then you can point them both at
the same authentication method.
Something like;
LCHAR = [^a-zA-Z0-9+._%#@\\$-]
DSUFFIX = -
# cyrus imap/pop server director
cyrus_director:
driver = aliasfile
search_type = WHATEVER-YOUR-SEARCHTYPE-IS
hide query = WHATEVER-YOUR-QUERY-IS
transport = cyrus_pipe
local_parts = !postmaster : !root : !news : !exim : !cyrus : *
user = cyrus
group = cyrus
suffix = DSUFFIX*
suffix_optional
no_more
# cyrus transport
cyrus_pipe:
driver = pipe
return_path_add = true
path = "CYRUSDIR/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin"
command = "deliver -e -a ${sg{${local_part}}{LCHAR}{}} \
-m ${sg{${substr_1:${local_part_suffix}}}{LCHAR}{}} \
-- ${sg{${local_part}}{LCHAR}{}}"
user = cyrus
group = cyrus
return_output
log_output
prefix =
suffix =
I also would not replace the local_delivery transport. That gets
painful if you ever want to also do traditional local delivery and
won't work if they are not traditional local users. Add a new
transport/director pair for it.
